Growing up on a hot summer day
we never really thought of safety
to the old quarry we made our way
the crystal-clear water looked refreshing
our only thought was how to proceed
to cool off would be a welcomed blessing
a cannon ball or a high swan-dive
the only obstacles the rocks below
but, we were daring and survived
safety was an after thought
as we laughed in the warm sun
praying we wouldn't get caught
written for WD 2026 April Pad Challenge Day 5
prompt to write a poem about safety
Happy Easter for those who celebrate
Happy Spring to all....stay safe
Yup, generations grew up that way, riding bikes with no helmets, playing lawn darts, etc... And we somehow survived.
